even in a 100-handed game xD

what's the difference between being 4 or 6 handed if you are in the button with only two more players to act and everybody behind you folded?

Ignore my brainfarts. Let's get this thread back on track now.

Had my second best day ever at $40.8k today. Tbf I was helped by a big pot at 10k where I got the money in as an underdog and which I probably did not play optimally. And while I am now +$11k for the month, I am massively above EV (not that I think it means much) and negative in bb/100 so nothing too be proud of yet. But still nice to be in the plus obviously. Will post some hands in a minute.

Yeah, have to call it off, pretty much getting the odds knowing what he has, and JJ is obviously the worst case scenario (about the same as sets).

What do you think about a x/c on this turn ? He is obviously never folding QT+ and he can bluff/spew...

Yeah , c/c or c/r turn might be better options. Though I disagree he is never folding a pair (latest by the river), he is a good reg. Obviously JJ is the best 1 pair hand he can have.
